System

When Recognizing a whole made up of various parts connected and structured&sbquo the recognition of that whole is defined as a system. In general&sbquo the parts are called "elements" "system" comes from the Greek word systema&sbquo which is synthesized by combining sys&sbquo meaning "together&sbquo" and histanai&sbquo meaning " to place." In ancient Greek philosophy&sbquo Aristotle said that "the whole is more than the sum of its parts." This point of view&sbquo however&sbquo has been forgotten due to modern science. And to physics in particular&sbquo which has made a series of discoveries about certain aspects of the world and has successfully assimilated them under the umbrella of theory. However&sbquo ever since the trend to describe systems in terms of elements became visible in science as a whole&sbquo the systematic way of thinking took root as a central and important concept. If a certain system is considered as an element of a larger system when recognizing the entire assemblage or organization as a system&sbquo then that system can be recognized as having a hierarchical structure. Therefore the type of performance and functions of a system is determined by the bonding relationship or mutual relationship between the elements. The combination of this bonding or mutual relationship of the elements can be defined as "system structure." Design is a method to embody a systematic or integrated relationship by putting together systematic structural elements organically. Seeing design as a system&sbquo we can use the words "design system" to mean a total and organized expression of knowledge. By systematizing hierarchical expressions&sbquo even fragmented expressions can draw out recognition of the entire structure and are capable of sufficiently implying design as a system. This becomes a factor for making intelligent judgments and assessments possible. Designers are now required to acquire the concepts of "design as system" and "system as design.
